Timephased Report/Status/Change Control Report Definition
Description: This tutorial explains the columns in the Timephased report and Change Control templates.
Timephased reports are often used to make baseline changes or update status.
In Application Settings - Resources (CAP) tab you will find
the items that make up the content in Columns S-AL. In Application Settings - Cobra tab you will find the items that make up the
content in Columns C-R and AR. The Cobra data isn't lined up exactly in the report since many columns are hidden because
the report is large and room is needed for the columns that must be seen.
When all is said and done the user controls 35 of the 50 Task Detail Columns. Of those 35,
15 can be any field and these are the first 15 fields of the Resources (CAP) tab. All Cobra tab fields and the last five of the
Resources (CAP) tab serve a specific purpose. All other fields are hard coded and/or formulas.
